John Wright tries to film Tower Hamlets council meeting (video)

Sometimes the only way to make your point is to stand up and be counted. John Wright did just that when he attempted to film a meeting of Tower Hamlets Council this week.

I know and respect John as a local social campaigner who is a staunch supporter of the Save Kemp campaign.

Even if I didn’t know John I would still be drawing your attention to this video.

While some are prepared to stand in the background and make disapproving noises John is just not prepared to be a wallflower. It’s called democracy.

Baffled? Confused? You will be.

Many people in Tower Hamlets are interested (baffled?) by the various things we hear about what goes in Council meetings. I keep an open mind about what I hear happens as I like those fact things. Very handy. Trouble is sometimes facts are quite hard to come by.

Recently Eric Pickles, the Local Government Secretary, has reiterated the fact that journalists and citizens have the right to film council meetings.

That’s what John tried to do and you can see what happened in the video below.

I don’t think I need to say much more as the video says it all – nice work John! Maybe we should all start trying to film the meetings?
